The Outer Shrine

A vast garden stretches half an acre in every direction from the dais on which you stand. A cobblestone path leads you across a pleasent little stream, that runs across and inbetween the stones of the path. Small happy birch trees and great healthy weeping willows dot the long grass plain on all sides of the path. Statues of gods, goddesses, humans, and aliens are also tossed liberaly about the plain.

The plain eventually meets up with a large white marble dome, suspended above many pillars of the same stone. A silver light seems to pour from the dome cieling down onto that which lies beneath. The cobble stone path rings the dome and one can enter it between any two pillars.

The Inner Shrine

Underneath the massive dome is a grand statue of His Divine Shadow, sourounded by fountains and pools of water. There are many pennies and other assorted coins in the fountains. The silver light, which so brightens the dome and all under it comes from the three Silmarils, removed of Melkor's taint, cleaned of Morgoth's evil, and made whole and beutiful again.

Malards, ducks, and loons often frequent the pools and fountains beneath the dome, but they never have the will to soil so beutiful a place, or so pleasent waters, so they do their business outside. There are also many flowery plants such as lilac bushes (HDS's favorite) and flowery willow trees. The sent of lilac fills the air and makes all who pass here in feel at ease and slightly rested than they had been before they had entered. The plants grow strong in the waters of the fountains and pools, as they are the same waters of the Ent-wash, visitors are welcome to dip a cup or canteen into the shrine's waters if they wish.

If one were to go back to the dais, one would find that it will transport them to another place, a wonderful place, with fewer water fowl.
